Bump....... how has it been going? I'm going to try this method out and see how it works now that I am natural.
I officially went full Curly Girl yesterday. Prior to that I did the 7 day detox with the Terressentials Mud Wash. I am very happy so far. I also need to get the conditioner to gel ratio correct. I like a soft hold with touchable hair.
I been on this for a while but recently with the moving and crap I been going through I been in twist. I hate the CG conditioner its horrible and every time I look at it I get upset, I spent a lot for a bottle that my hair and scalp hates. So I just stick with tresseme naturals. and my mud shampoo which I love but oh gosh is it expensive. So effective today I am completely back on the CG method. I got my sister on it and her hair has grown so much in such a short period of time. but she struggles with not using shampoo. I don't at all. I hated how my scalp reacted after a shampoo. but I need to find a good deep conditioner with protein and can't so I will just have to egg an egg to honey. because i really do not know what to do about that.
I have been using the CG method since the first or second week of Jan 2012. That was my last time using a sulfate poo.
I gave all of my products to my mom except the hard core Aphogee 2 Step. I'm not going to use it...need to give it away.
So far, my stash includes:
Co Wash Conditioners:
Tresemme Naturals
Garner Triple Nutrition
V05 (leftovers from my relaxed days)
Deep Conditioners:
AOGPB
AOHSR
Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque (in a mixture)
Shea Moisture Anti Breakage Masque (in a mixture)
Shea Moisture Restorative Conditioner (in a mixture or co wash alone)
Leave Ins:
Giovanni Direct Leave in sealed with Castor oil mix
Shea Moisture Curl and Style
Styler:
Eco Styler Blue mixed with a curl activator
Hawaiian Silky Curl Activator
Via Natural Conditioning Styling Gel (no hold)
Oils:
Grapeseed
Castor
Hemp
Wheatgerm
simplyhair WOW that is a lot of protein. My hair would be falling out if I put that much protein on it.
Shadiyah, help me see where there is a lot of protein? Do you mean the AOGPB? If so, that's a very mild protein.
simplyhair anything that usually says anyti breakage or restorative is usually a protein treatment. None of it says moisture treatments. that is why I said a lot of protein and the wheatgerm is a protein.
Deep Treatment Masque (in a mixture)
Shea Moisture Anti Breakage Masque (in a mixture)
Shea Moisture Restorative Conditioner and wheatgerm.
I am definitely back on this right now
I guess i'm still modified bc i use Tresemme Naturals shampoo (low-sulfate) every couple of weeks or so...my scalp gets dirty fast.
I've been using the OneCondition for the past 2 days...its not bad but...mehhh....it's a nice alternative to use when my hair feels overly moisturized...i think it has some protein in bc it definitely strengthened my hair up! I wish they'd fix the smell tho Smells like plastic lemonade drenched in Splenda ...and a few flowers.
Shadiyah !! I'm sorry! You know I loooove my wash n go's! Lol! How are you all bunning tho? I can't seem to get my hair in an actual "bun" in its natural state unless it's on top of my head bc it's so curly. I can do my ponytail.
@faithVA lol mostly jus hangin out
there's a lot more talk about naturals going CG so I'm like...let's bump the CG thread then!!
I'm still pretty much modified CG tho. I use a low-poo every so often. Would love to be shampoo free, but my scalp gets oily and dirty pretty fast and it will get this smell and have buildup, so I do need to shampoo once in a while.
That's what I figured...just hanging out.
Why is low poo considered modified when Deva Curl makes No Poo and Low poo products. It's part of her line so I would think using a poo would still be curly girl. I can see using a comb/brush would be modified though.
